Strategy

Specific anti- Moria card. Whether or not a deck should use Golden Light on the Land will likely depend a lot on the current meta: If Moria decks are very common (Especially swarm) decks, then this card may be useful for decks that struggle to counter them. However, the card is useless against most shadows, and is also hindered by its lack of function underground and the fact that it is a one-site effect. While some Dwarf decks do struggle with Moria swarms, there are generally more versatile card choices to help with this, the main examples being Disquiet of Our People (Defender bonus) and Song of Durin (Anti- Moria Tale). Other Dwarven anti-Orc options include Stairs of Khazad Dum and Here Lies Balin, Son of Fundin.
